One of the impacts of climate change is an increase in the frequency and intensity of hydrometeorological disasters such as prolonged droughts. Borneo is one of the areas that is threatened by drought due to climate change, so it is important to know the mitigation and adaptation measures. In this study, the dynamical downscaling method by Conformal Cubic Atmospheric Model (CCAM) will be used to find out the potential for drought events in Borneo based on the RCP 4.5 scenario. As a result, in total, the annual rainfall in Borneo in 2021-2050 will increase when compared to 1991-2020. This means that, on average, the rainfall in Borneo will increase. However, the increase on the annual rainfall amount does not make Borneo free from possibilities of drought disasters in the future. Areas in southern Borneo such as Banjarmasin, Pangkalan Bun, and Pontianak are estimated to have experience more frequent meteorological drought events in 2021-2050 compared to 1991-2020. The southern part of Borneo is also expected to experience longer consecutive dry days in 2021-2050 compared to 1991-2020.
